Nutrition (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with good nutrition.\nThe diet of an organism refers to what it eats. Dietitians are health professionals who specialize in human nutrition, meal planning, economics, preparation, and so on. They are trained to provide safe, evidence-based dietary advice and management to individuals (in health and disease), as well as to institutions.\nPoor diet can have an injurious impact on health, causing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and kwashiorkor; health-threatening conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome, and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

Seven months ago, I wasn't even a vegetarian. I thought I'd skip most classes, but once I got here, I became morbidly fascinated with colon health, digestion, and the benefits of wheat grass, and I didn't miss a single class. At first I felt like utter crap-I had headaches daily, and I felt bitchy and exhausted. Detoxing, everyone at the institute called it. (They blame every unpleasant symptom on detoxing.) But about a week into my stay, I started to feel different. Energized. Mentally sharper. Happier. More serene. Lighter. (I lost 10 pounds in the first week and didn't really need to lose weight.) I slept less. I started waking at dawn and going to bed earlier than I would have left the house for a night of partying back home in New York. My eyes even started changing color. Not just the whites, which got whiter, but my irises changed, too-from very dark to a richer, reddish brown.

Wearing any magnetic bracelet or Bracelets for Pain might ease the pain caused due to arthritis of hips and knees, as the UK researchers proved. Anecdotal benefits already has been reported by the wearers yet studies are there which compare such bracelets with dumb version have produced a mixed result. The present study by the Medical Journal, British found the significant reduction of pain among more than 65 wearers. Again the Peninsular School Medical team said that the effect can be real and again depend on the individual's faith. Also, a magnet with high strength (about 170mTesla and above) is required to have an effect on the pain. Whatever is the mechanism, the benefits of magnetic bracelets seemed clinically useful.

Vitamix competitor... The Blendtec has some advantages in operational flexibility and features (such as a 3-hp engine vs 2-hp in the Vitamix), but a much shorter warranty period (and probably other disadvantageous I haven't yet researched)
